Do you think a guy like Ron Gardenhire would be interested in coaching the Rays? He is a small market guy and probably would enjoy the beautiful Florida weather? Who do you think will coach the Rays and why?

The weather isn't that nice down here from April to October.

October to April is a lot nicer.

I don't think the Rays are going to bring a retread in.

I don't know how you can call Ron Gardenhire a retread. He is regarded as one of the best managers in baseball. Buck was called a retread by some of you hangout guys and look how well that turned out. The rays will need somebody who is good at working with young players and can lay the law down at times.

I called him a retread because he isn't a first time manager at the MLB level.

Back in the days before radials you could get some perfectly adequate performance out of retread tires.

Shame, now you just have to throw them away.

Don't know.

I would ask my friends who are Rays fans but I probably know more about the team then they do.

Not like you need a manager in November.

Ok I checked. Silverman and Maddon started about the same time.

Silverman worked at Goldman Sachs in its Merchant Banking Division, alongside Stuart Sternberg. He assisted in putting together Sternberg's bid to purchase controlling interest in the Rays. Silverman was part of the transition that not only changed the name of the franchise from the Devil Rays to the Ray

I found out that this guys is VP of Communications there.

No wonder the difficulties.

Evidently the broad search indicates that he is not what they really want.

Martinez may not end up getting the job, but the broad candidate search should not lead you to that conclusion. They have an opportunity to interview guys from other organizations to get additional intelligence. It's a good opportunity to learn how other organizations operate even if you want to hire internally.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
